Symposium and Conferences
International Symposium, January 2009
The Project hosted an international Symposium at the University of Manchester from 19-21 January 2009, entitled "Forms of Ancient Jewish Literature in its Graeco-Roman and Ancient Near Eastern Setting". This was an opportunity to gain, from some of the world's leading academics, a wide range of perspectives on the Project's core research question. Contributors included Duncan Kennedy (Bristol), Sydney Aufrere (Aix-en-Provence), Alan Millard (Liverpool), Roy Gibson (Manchester), Loveday Alexander (Manchester), John Collins (Yale), Armin Lange (Vienna), Diana Lipton (London), Avraham Walfish (Bar Ilan), Chaim Milikowsky (Bar Ilan), Sacha Stern (London), Rivka Ulmer (Bucknell), as well as all four members of the Project's research team.
